"Lone Sailboat" was a plein air painting created in oil done on location at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, California around early afternoon. I took to this sailboat that was drifting by as I painted the water and the waves. Painting from life outdoors is my favorite way to paint because it allows me to paint faster and more accurately. Painting faster helps to capture the colors of the ever-changing light and shadows. I am inspired reading about the original impressionist like Monet, Renoir, Degas, etc. Painting outdoors allows me to enjoy nature as well as finding inner peace.
